The Forest, Parks and Wildlife Department, Gilgit-Baltistan, and the Baltistan Wildlife Conservation and Development Organization (BWCDO) have signed a Letter of Agreement (LoA) to strengthen collaboration for the conservation of snow leopards and its prey species and to promote human-wildlife coexistence through community-based conservation approaches.

Under the agreement, both organizations will work closely on wildlife research and surveys, human-wildlife conflict mitigation, conservation awareness, and community-based conservation education programs.

This partnership marks an important step toward strengthening collaborative conservation efforts across Gilgit-Baltistan, while empowering local communities to play a meaningful role in protecting wildlife and promoting coexistence between communities and wildlife.

BWCDO conducted a site survey in Deosai National Park for the construction of a Predator-Proof Corral in collaboration with Deosai National Park at the Ragichan pasture area. This corral will primarily contribute to protecting livestock from the attacks of carnivores and generally mitigating human-wildlife conflict!

We are hopeful this project will bring a change in their attitude towards conservation practices and safeguarding natural resources.

If you wish to donate to this noble cause, please reach out to us!

The BWCDO team participated in the Conservation Asia Congress (CAC) held in Kathmandu, Nepal. During the congress, we shared BWCDO's multipronged approaches for the conservation of snow leopards and their prey species in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.

The congress provided an excellent platform for conservation practitioners and researchers from around the world to exchange knowledge, experiences, and innovative conservation strategies. It was a highly interactive and enriching experience that fostered meaningful discussions on biodiversity conservation and sustainable development.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Asia Section Society for Conservation Biology and our donor Snow Leopard Conservancy (SLC) for providing us with this valuable opportunity to participate and contribute to the global conservation dialogue.

Together, we remain committed to safeguarding mountain ecosystems and ensuring a future for snow leopards and the communities that share their habitat

Our camera trap captured another amazing video of Snow leopard territory marking. One can see it displaying all signs of marking in this video of not more than 40 seconds.

This rare video, captured by a BWCDO camera trap, shows the elusive Snow Leopard marking its territory. Through scraping the ground, it leaves behind powerful signals for others—defining boundaries in a world where survival depends on silence and solitude.

Every movement in this video tells a story of dominance, communication, and adaptation in one of the harshest landscapes in Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan.

This video reminds us how important it is to protect the elusive species and the fragile ecosystem. 🐾

Promoting coexistence between communities and wildlife!

The Baltistan Wildlife Conservation and Development Organization distributed Rs. 800,000 in livestock compensation to families affected by snow leopard attacks in Hushe, Skoyo, and Krabathang.

This compensation amount, for a total of 125 livestock losses, was distributed in the presence of Village Conservation Committee members to ensure transparency and community participation.

BWCDO remains committed to supporting local communities while conserving the elusive snow leopards of Baltistan. 🐆 🤝🌿
